STUDENT OUTCOMES
For students entering as freshmen for SY 2018-2019, the following SOs apply:
Student outcomes are outcomes (1) through (5) common to Computer Science (CS), Information Systems (IS), and Information Technology (IT). There are separate additional outcomes for CS, IS, and IT.
By the time of graduation, students will have an ability to:
1. analyze a complex computing problem and to apply principles of computing and other relevant disciplines to identify solutions.
2. design, implement, and evaluate a computing-based solution to meet a given set of computing requirements in the context of the program’s discipline.
3. communicate effectively in a variety of professional contexts.
4. recognize professional responsibilities and make informed judgments in computing practice based on legal and ethical principles.
5. function effectively as a member or leader of a team engaged in activities appropriate to the program’s discipline.
6. apply computer science theory and software development fundamentals to produce computing-based solutions (CS).
